Don't worry about it as long as you don't start doing it yourself it'll be fine.:)

Try picking up the **** before the dog eats it, dog could be bored aswell. If you feed the dog chunks of pineapple in its food its less likely to eat its sh!te when it comes out the other end.

I've a seven month old springer that when he gets a run on land with cow pads, he will stop and eat some as hunts the field but there is none of your problem when any of the other dogs he is kennelled with drop a log..

Your right , sure why would ya , sure the worst thing that could happen is the dog pick up an infection or something , find him dead some morning .

If the dog was eating furniture or cables , you wouldn't be long separating him from them .

So why not the dog !

i would be thinking that its diet related, dogs not properly digesting his food and pup is looking on it as more food

I'm loving the expressions in this thread. Hopenit works out op, but the terms and expressions in this post have me bith heaving and laughing all at the same time :-)

Had the same trouble before with a pup. This solution will work but it takes patients.

Straight away after the dogs poos cover it with pepper, I mean really coat it in it. The springer will go over to eat it and it will taste so horrible to him he will nearly get sick.

It's cruel but after 2 or 3 times he will never look at another poo again.

i wonder is the other dog not digesting the food correctly and maybe the dog is eating it as it is so rich? does he eat any other dogs ****e
